Won't the rechroming process cover/erase the stamps?
Not on the backside. I think you might be a little overly concerned about this issue. Unless a shop specializes in muscle-car rechroming (bumper boys) they are highly unlikely to have a substitute bumper to swap for yours, and equally unlikely to bother with doing so.
Possible? yea.... Likely? Not hardly.
I would be far more concerned about the quality of work that the shop you select performs.

I would also recommend calling TRI-CITY plating. They do quality work and the customer service is outstanding. Give them a call and ask them what they recommend in order to ensure you are getting your same bumpers back. Originally, I was going to have mine redone but ended up just swapping out for some they already had done. The bumpers look fantastic and I'm very happy with them. Here's a pic of the TRI-CITY rear bumper being bolted on with a buddy of mine fitting the bumper guards. Joe

Planned on using Tri-City, used them before to buy a bumper but not rechroming original.
So I think they qualify as "in the muscle car bumper" business.
I am mostly concerned with fit and simply the fact that the bumper is the original to the car so it should go back on the car.
I'll see about stamping something into the backs of them before giving them up.
